Gulf Extrusions Organizational Restructuring & Regional Expansion
As part of Gulf Extrusions continued regional expansion and long-term growth strategy, we are pleased to announce an important evolution in our organizational structure.
Gulf Extrusion has established Gulfex Holding Company, which will serve as the strategic umbrella for the Group’s current and future regional operations.
As of January 2026, Mr. Omar Shegem has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Gulfex Holding, where he will lead the Group’s overall strategic direction and development. In this role, Mr. Shegem will spearhead regional expansion initiatives, including the establishment of new businesses, strategic partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, and the development of new companies across key markets
Under the new structure:
• Mr. Sameer Alkhresheh has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Gulfex UAE, where he will continue to drive operational excellence and strengthen market leadership within the UAE and other markets.
• Gulfex Automotive and Industries, formerly known as APT, will operate under the strategic oversight of Gulfex Holding to further enhance the Group’s presence in automotive and industrial fabrication sectors.
• Gulfex Holding Company will oversee the performance, growth, and strategic alignment of all subsidiary entities.
This restructuring represents a significant milestone in Gulfex Group’s journey, positioning the organization for greater agility, stronger governance, and an expanded regional footprint. It enables the Group to pursue ambitious growth beyond traditional markets, with a strong focus on automotive and industrial integration.
Both Gulfex UAE and Gulfex Holding have an exciting pipeline of initiatives that will further strengthen our competitive position and support our vision of achieving regional leadership and sustainable growth.
We look forward to this new chapter and to the continued commitment of our teams, partners, and stakeholders as we move confidently toward enhanced market leadership and integrated industrial capabilities across the region and beyond.
